I just finished this up for a fellow Tradganger. My design was inspired by old butcher knives and bowies. This one was ordered with a 4.75" 154cm stainless blade, 8.75" OA, and dark desert ironwood scales. Thin black micarta liners and stainless corbies trim her out.

Awesome job! Clean, no-nonsense design. Bet it'll get the job done with sublime style. Wish I had one just like it!

That is a great looking knife!  I like the blade profile and the handle looks so comfortable and well done.

Great job!

Many thanks for all the kind words. This type of feedback is invaluable as I begin to get a sense of what people like and develop my own patterns and style.
